The Smokies…
There couldn’t be a more incredible place to live!
And to all of you visitors out there—What an incredible place to visit!
Random, sure. True? Absolutely!
Here are thirty-seven great reasons why I like to live in the Smokies:

- There is a really good Japanese Restaurant right at the beginning of The Parkway in Sevierville—watch for the sales!

- The people at the dry cleaners know my name.
- My church is here.
